A reliable pocket knife

Let’s face it; there are only a few things in this world that might make you feel like a real ninja – a survival knife is one of them. A small blade knife has so many uses on an adventure trip that it has become an absolute must-have for a journey into the wilderness.

Even if you never leave your street, as part of your EDC, it’s a handy piece of survival gear for opening packages, cutting rope and building shelters. You might also want to use it to ward off little critters trying to snack on your survival rations.

A decent first aid kit

A first aid kit has the power to turn a potentially grave medical emergency – from bleeding wounds to hidden infections – into a minor setback. If you’re thinking of not carrying one on your journey, then you’re probably underestimating the dominance of nature around you. A first aid kit at your disposal can save lives!

Some cordage (rope)

A rope might not be the most important thing you need on an adventure, but it can be extremely useful in the case of building a shelter – paracord could be a survival accessory that ends up saving your life. A chord, on the other hand, can help you repair, for example, a tent. It can also be used for climbing or when things get really bad, and you need to hunt your dinner.

Insulating blanket for warmth

You must have seen bags or blankets wrapped around people in music festivals after they get hammered down and roll in mud for hours, becoming overnight internet video sensations and family disgrace simultaneously. Yes, those blankets. They can save your life.

Stay Hydrated: carry a water bottle

A water bottle might be one of the most underrated, yet extremely important item for an adventure. Maintaining your bodily fluids is essential especially when you’re going on a journey and may not know the geography.

Those are definitely items you must bring with you on any trek into the wild. For more great survival tips and info, please visit The Prepper Journal.
